So I can bitch about politics on nsmb.

I want a super awesome 4k display and a ssd hard drive. Looking to spend some money on a decent one. 13 to 15 inch display. Was looking at Dell xps but maybe there's something I'm not seeing?

Ha Ha! Made you look.

I'm really happy with the Lenovo Yoga that I got 1 1/2 years ago. The Yoga 910 series will hit your mark.

For anything decent, you're going to be looking at $1500 and up with a 4k display and 512 Mb SSD.

Edit:  By 512 Mb, I mean to say 512 Gb ....

I got a reconditioned lenovo V570 at least 4 yrs ago on recommendation of my ski bud who owns the local electronic store, he rated the LT's he sold  best -to-good  Lenovo/Azus/Acer in that order, Don's idea of a good product is one that he doesnt have to send back and he had never sent back a Lenovo

I use a Lenovo t520 at work it's pretty good. And yeah I'm expecting 1500 plus. Any recommendations on Canadian websites to order from? Good deals to be had?

It might be worth waiting for Black Friday sales.

Do you want to use the laptop for gaming?  What screen size?

I've been buying XPS laptops for the last decade for my wife and I.  Still happy with them.

eurocom laptops are pretty good; there are some reviews online. they aren't full of bloatware, and that you can upgrade and customize. and from a canadian company. they aren't as disposable as others
